    Over 100 years old, but still looks highly futuristic! Very cool transport system!

    The Germans built that in 1900 says a lot about the engineering! Amazing thanks for sharing it, never knew about it.

      The Wuppertal suspension railway may be unique,
      but it is not the only suspended monorail in the world.
      For example, suspension railways also operate in Dresden, Japan and the USA.
      But the Wuppertal “Langen monorail suspension railway system” is the oldest and therefore
      a model for all later systems.

    My mom died yesterday of cancer, she loved watching your videos and showing me. Even in her last hours, Crazy how something so small as watching RUclips can make someone feel a lil normal in bad times. Thank you.

    My mum was from Wuppertal. Dad sent me this video link. They immigrated to Australia in the 1960s, where I was born. Since then, I met a French girl, had a family, and now I live in the south of France. I only visited Wuppertal once, to meet my mum's side of the family about 15 years ago. But I think I'll need to visit again one day. Thank you for sharing!

    I changed my UN I wanted to update you about Laura my 98 year old who loves your videos! Tonight we watched 3 in a row.
    She says she remembers being 77 like your mom and feeling great! She also said your mom will live a long life as long as she has a good appetite and spends time with you!
    We watched your Germany trip and wow what a beautiful clean city. I loved those trains and learning about the history was great.
    We further enjoyed going with you on the boats for $4! She couldn’t believe that much fun for $4 bucks.
    Anyway, I wanted to update and let you know that her quality of life has improved. She smiles and says, “I love the GIV” he’s a nice boy lol! Thanks again and keep doing your videos!

    We need a Schwebebahn here in California. I vote for a Schwebebahn from Venture to Imperial Beach. Think about no obstructions the entire distance giving on-time schedules everytime one boards, how great that would be! The GiV is loving it, no LA traffic jams to contend with, free to go as he pleases, everyone can go with an on-time flow up and down the southern California coast. We have to retro fit the hanging cabs to accommodate surf boards! I vote that the new Schwebebahn run as close as possible along the beach stopping in Venice Beach 🏖️ for sure. The GiV to choose where that station gets to be. We can even dedicate the VB station to the GiV, calling the station GiVBS, German In Venice Beach Station. 🤗 🚟 🏖️
